How can I remove the "search" text from search button with Joomla's smart search?

Post by mrmagee » Mon May 08, 2023 7:09 pm

The search button for my website's smart search includes an icon of a magnifying glass and the text, "Search." Right next to the button there is the search field with the text "Search ..." duplicated.

How can I remove the text that is next to the search icon?

Review of the post viewtopic.php?f=808&t=999197#p3682079 could be of help. This solution works in the template Cassiopeia.

Thanks so much for finding that topic for me. I am still struggling to find a solution. I think the instructions were not super clear for me, I am a beginner and do not typically edit code often. Any more details would be helpful though.

Review of the following documents would be of help in understanding Language Overrides.

https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Language_O ... _in_Joomla
https://docs.joomla.org/Help310:Extensi ... rides_Edit

Even though the documents are for Joomla 3, they are equally good for Joomla 4. In Joomla 4, to go to the screen "Languages: Overrides", one has to click on the menu System and choose the appropriate menu item displayed.

Make sure that your Language is English and the Client/Location is Site.
